The Muck Boot Company Scrub Boot You won’t believe how warm and dry they keep you in the snow and how comfortable they are in the Summer. They are not quite mid calf so they are easy on and off and they don’t have those deep lug soles that collect mud. I wear them 365 days a year! LOVE THEM!

not for summer gardening, but good for winter snow shoveling and dog walks: Hot Pink (yes!) Uggs that we found for sales at Marshalls after Christmas. I love them, in the winter I don’t even need socks.

I wear those $5 zip-up water shoes all year, with socks in cold weather. They keep the mud out, breath, have good traction, and are easy to get off when going in the house for a “break.” One pair lasts all season — what more could you ask for!

I belong to that small subset of aging gardeners with feet to match who had to skip the “cute” for the “sturdy”. Merrill’s high top hiking boots have saved me from more broken ankles and heel and arch problems this past season.

I have a pair of green wellies that I love but I noticed at the end of last season that they
were slit between the body of the boot and the top of the rim of the sole and started letting in water. Any suggestions as to what I might use to seal them up again??

jean- Before the Hunters I regularly sealed up my leaky vinyl boots with duct tape too. It works pretty well, so technically I probably didn’t need the Hunters… ( could have had the silver boots too, if I completely covered them in duct tape)

I live in a small community in British Columbia called Roberts Creek which is known as the Gumboot Nation. We use the gumboot as our official symbol and they’re everywhere! So, appreciated seeing the glam siver ones.

I’ve become hooked on Lawn Grips and Garden Grips–I own about every model they make–just purchased the newest model this spring. Rubberized uppers are great for mud–excellent traction and com-fort-a-ble!

Welcome, pmp. Sounds fascinating…but when I looked at the Ariat site I could not find them. My sister loves Ariat for the support, too, but she has the clogs (not for gardening, just everyday). Maybe they no longer make them? Nice to “meet” you and do stop by again soon.

Welcome, Shirley. They sound divine, and like serious business. Are they rubber, with sort of corrugated soles? I am so fascinated to see all the footwear choices…makes me want to go buy new boots! See you soon again, I hope.
